The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District is urging anyone descend on Chicago's Grant Park for the Lollapalooza music festival last week to get tested for COVID-19.

The health department is asking those people to get tested this week to "help us shut down any local outbreaks before they get started."

After missing last summer because of the threat of the coronavirus, this year's four-day festival was back to full capacity, with roughly 100,000 daily attendees, easily Chicago's largest gathering since the pandemic started, and one of the largest crowds in the country in the last year.
